four thousand locomotives, OF which
they have exported about nine hundred
OF these, fully seven hundred have gone

While agreeing in general with the
theory that comets have their origin
beyond the limits of the solar system,
Prof. Daniel Kirkwood finds proof that
some of those of short period are minor
planets, whose orbits in the asteroid
zone have been changed through the
perturbing Influence of the large
planets. The third comet of 1884, for
instance, seems to have been drawn
from the Asteroids by Jupiter in May.
